SPECIAL SECTION: 1988-89 ANNUAL REPORT
A Step ~
Into the_
I Future
Marching toward 50
years of training global
managers, Thunderbird
has taken a giant step
forward by winning
approval for a zoning
change involving
campus land. The city
of Glendale has
approved a change from
an agricultural deSigna­tion
to planned area
development, paving
the way for an
international businessl
research park to be
built.
Possible tenants
include smaU- and
medium-sized firms
doing business in areas
such as law, tourism,
insurance, market
research, finance,
research, and
computers.
Lee Stickland, vice
president for business
affairs, says the School
hopes to tie the park
directly into the
campus, attracting
multinational busi­nesses
who can benefit
from Thunderbird's
unparalled international
business connections
and faculty with
experience in doing
business in many
AP.s.
SUBSTATION
The proposed master plan for the
Thunderbird International Business
Park shows a campus for different
from the original building complex
designed in the shape of a Thunder­bird
by artist Millard Sheets.
foreign countries. ''You
can't find that kind of
asset anywhere in this
country," says Dr. Roy
Herberger, president of
Thunderbird.
In return, the School
would benefit from an
enlarged job bank for
graduating students,
as well as possible
internships in different
industries for students
enrolled in the MIM
program.
Looking into the
future, Stickland
foresees an executive
training center, a hotel
to house executives
enrolled in such
programs, and a
restaurant as part of the
international business
park.
A master plan for the
proposed Thunderbird
International Business
Park has been prepared
by architects Varney,
Sexton, Lunsford, Aye.
At this stage, a portion
of the perimeter road is
complete, and sewer
and water lines have
been installed.
With the zoning
approval now in place,
the physical plant
committee of the board
of trustees will be
looking at ways to
market the proposed
center effectively.
Committee Chairman
Gary Herberger, Ed
J uliber, and Ted
O'Malley, Jr., will
further define the plans.

LANGUAGE ABILITY
TRANSLATES
INTO SUCCESS
There comes a day for many
Thunderbird graduates when
modern languages stop being
a classroom exercise and become a tool
for career advancement.
Whether their skills predate their
Thunderbird experience, or they learned
a foreign language at the School, alumni
have employed their ability to speak a
second tongue as an entry into the
international economy.
From sales representatives who
suddenly find themselves thrust into
a setting where they must negotiate
in a foreign language, to professional
interpreters who shift easily from
one language to another, successful
business transactions can turn on a
word or a phrase.
Language training is one leg of the
tripartite curriculum at the School, but
many students come to Thunderbird
already knowing one or more foreign
languages, and can then srudy business
terminology.
Knowledge of languages is definitely
a point in a prospective employee's
favor for an international career, even
down the road, observes Maria Pinheiro,
chair of the Department of Modern
Languages at Thunderbird.
"It's very unrealistic to think that
everybody's going to graduate and use
their language immediately," she says.
Highlighting the importance of lang­uage
training, the School is embarking
on a program to expand its classes,
offering two higher levels of Russian
in the spring of 1990, with plans to
eventually add Korean and Italian.
One graduate who parlayed her flu­ency
in Japanese into a full-time position
is Linda Johnson, who graduated from
Thunderbird in 1986 and is now a tech­nical
interpreter on contract to Diamond­Star
Motors in Illinois. Diamond-Star
is a joint venrure by Chrysler and Mitsu­bishi
to produce the new Chrysler Laser
and Mitsubishi Eclipse automobiles
being built at an assembly plant in
Normal, Illinois.
Since March 1988, Johnson has
provided an interpretive link between
American workers and 100 technical
assistants from Mitsubishi who speak
litde English and are at the plant less
than a year before rotating back
to Japan.
Now assigned to the tinal assembly
department, Johnson provides both
written and oral interpretation between
the Japanese and Americans, as well as
trying to be a cultural bridge.
She came to Thunderbird already
speaking Japanese after living in Japan
at separate times in both high school
and college, as well as working in a
marketing position where she spoke
Japanese. She studied business Japan­ese
as a Tbird.
"With this language as it is, 1 don't
think one ever becomes fluent," she
says. She adds that it took her several
weeks to become comfortable interpret­ing
at Diamond-Star, and she is still
learning new auto rnanufacruringjargon.
The linguistic nuances of automobile
manufacturing at the beginning left
her, well, practically speechless.
She recalls that on her first day on
the job she was given a tour of the
plant, which employs more than
2,000 workers, accompanied by an
American guide.
'Mter it was over, I told him, '1 didn't
understand 50 percent of what you said
in English; I don't know how I'm going
to get through this in Japanese,'"
Johnson jokes.
The Japanese officials were very
considerate while she learned termi­nology.
"The Japanese are very sensi-

days, you might as well become friends
if you can."
tive," she says. "If you haven't had any
experience, they lead you around by
the hand at every turn."
An interpreter must be flexible and
able to bridge cultural gaps, as differ­ences
occasionally arise, J ohoson notes.
"If you don't have the personality for
the job, you won't be successful," she
says. "1 think you have to go with
the flow."
Johnson translates both at meetings
and on the assembly line, and says the
combination of continuous people
contact and the constant manufacturing
operations produces a stimulating
environment joining two cultures.
'The bottom hne is to produce top
quality," Johnson says.
For many graduates, an international
career means not only speaking a for­eign
language but immersing them­selves
in a foreign culture as well.
Katherine Arrington, a May 1988
graduate, wound up with an intem-
ship with a German computer firm in
Paderborn, West Germany, and had to
rely on her Thunderbird training.
Arrington describes herself as
unusual for a Tbird because she had
never been to Europe. She studied
German again at Thunderbird after a
lapse of 10 years.
"Conversationally, I was totally com­fortable,"
she recalls. "In a business
setting it was a stretch." She encoun­tered
little things, such as the way
Germans pass along telephone num­bers,
that are different than in English.
For the number 435, for example,
Germans would say 400,5 and 30,
she says.
Arrington says that in looking back,
one of the strengths of the program at
Thunderbird is that it forces students
to speak every day in front of people.
"That confidence, the ability to think
on your feet is really vital," she says.
Language studies also prepare
Americans to handle cultural differ­ences.
For example, Arrington says
that in many ways Germany is similar
to the U. S. in the 1950s, particularly
in the way older men look at younger
women who share the workplace. "We
learned there might be some resist­ance
to hyperconfidence in our own
abilities," she adds.
Being able to speak in the host
country gave her a confident feeling
of not being "tied to people who speak
English." She also enjoyed the ability
to fathom local politics in order to
know what was going on.
After the internship Arrington was
offered a job in Germany, but returned
to Arlington, Washington to accept a
job developing computer software for
GTE Northwest. She adds that she is
working on returning to Germany but
wanted some time to choose the right
position.
An alumnus doesn't have to exhibit
perfect fluency for his language to be
an asset in a business setting. Doug
Deardorf, '84, used Spanish while
selling industrial machinery in Latin
America and resurrected it in selling
computer software and consulting ser­vices
to a utility company in Puerto
Rico for his present firm, the Actron
Division of Price-Waterhouse. Deardorf
adds that his ability to speak Spanish
played a major role in being assigned
to the Puerto Rican account.
Language can be an excellent way to
gain a business foothold into Latin
"SPEAKING SPANISH HELPED
BREAK THE ICE ... SO MUCH
OF IT IS THE PERCEPTION
THAT YOU CARE ENOUGH TO
SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE."
America because people there appre­ciate
an outsider's interest in their
culture, he says.
'There's nothing like being immersed
and having Spanish around you 24
hours a day," he says. He picked up
most of his Spanish at Thunderbird
after being exposed to it in high school.
Even though his Spanish capabilities
were less than perfect, it still allowed
him to conduct successful working trips
throughout Latin America once a quarter.
"Even though I was never fluent, I
could function," Deardorf says. "Thun­derbird's
language training gives you
the ability to hit the ground in a foreign
country, conduct a full day's worth of
meetings, and get to the hotel in an effi­cient
manner. Many of the benefits of
foreign language capability are the
subtleties that result in a more pro­ductive
business trip."
Deardorf found that he had to rely
on his Spanish selling machinery in
South America because English wasn't
prevalent in outlying areas.
"When you ran out of vocabulary,
you'd say,' esta cosa,' - this thing,"
he recalls.
In contrast, the long negotiations
over implementing a computerized
customer information and billing system
for a Puerto Rican power company did
not require Deardorf to speak Spanish,
but he did on occasion anyway.
'There was a camaraderie that devel­oped
more easily," he says, noting that
those he met with in Latin American
countries enjoyed dealing with some­one
who demonstrated interest in cul­tures
other than ours in the United
States.
Although Actron's business is largely
with domestic utility companies, even­tual
expansion to Latin America is likely
because of its potential, observes
Deardorf, western regional sales man­ager
for the firm.
Native speakers can most easily take
advantage of their language skills in
international dealings. Miami resident
Daniel Paseiro, who graduated in
December, 1981, has worked as a con-
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE
4
tract escort interpreter for the U.S.
Department of State since 1982.
His family is from Cuba, so Paseiro
did not have to study Spanish at
Thunderbird. Instead, he studied
Portuguese. He relates that he obtained
his job because he speaks both Spanish
and English well, and has stayed wi.th
it because of the freedom.
"I like the flexibility," he says.
"Whenever I want to not work for a
certain period of time, do something
else or go on a trip it doesn't bother
them at all ."
He generally guides one or two
individuals from Spanish-speaking
countries on official visits around the
United States.
"They tend to be politicians, jour­nalists,
civil servants, or academics,"
he says. "Sometimes they're a combi­nation.
If they meet people in the U.S.
and have a good time, there will be,
especially in the long run, positive
influences. "
His job requires him to accompany
his guest constantly, and the trips can
last up to one month and extend across
the country. They usually begin in
Washington, D.C.
"If I happen to have· a journalist
who's interested in certain subjects, in
the morni.ng we'll probably go to the
State Department desk for their country,
and then to the Foreign Press
Center," Paseiro says. "Then, in the
afternoon, we'll visit the Washington
Post, and the Brookings Institute for
example."
Paseiro says he tries to break the ice
with his guests quickly.
"I do only one deliberate thing at
the beginning. In Spanish, there are
two ways of speaking to somebody, the
formal and the informal. I say, 'Look,
we're going to be traveling for 30 days
together, we might as well start off with
the tu (informal) instead of Usted
(formal) right off the bat,' and they're
always amenable to that," he says.
Paseiro adds that he's able to use his
frequent flyer miles to take trips to
many other countries in his free time.
With so much traveling, he's able to
make a lot of Tbird reunions.
That's another example of how
Thunderbird graduates, no matter
what foreign language they speak, are
ultimately bound together by their
common experiences.

A Salute to Global Excellence was the
theme for the annual Thunderbird
trustee dinner held in October. The
Phelps Dodge Corporation was
chosen to receive the first annual
Thunderbird Award of Global Excel­lence
for its successful globalization of
business at home and abroad.
The criteria for the award took into
consideration the firm's diversity of
markets and the variety of its
international operations. Company
size, management philosophy, and
demonstrated success in the domestic
and international arenas were also
considered.
William Turner, chairman of the
Board of llustees, introduced Dr. Roy
A. Herberger to the audience by
saying, "Dr. Herberger's adminis­tration
began a little more than three
months ago, and in that short time he
has already demonstrated his global
vision in prep~ring the School for
another era . . .
Dr. Herberger presented the Award
of Global Excellence to Douglas C.
Yearley, chairman of the board and
CEO of Phelps Dodge, citing the
many examples of how Phelps Dodge
is a global institution, with operations
in 21 countries, as well as having a
major impact on Arizona's economy.
Yearley accepted the award,
commenting on Phelps Dodge's ties to
Arizona dating back to 1834 and its
"pledge to opportunistic growth in
both natural resources and
manufactured products." With 1988
after-tax earnings of $420 million, the
firm was number 65 in earnings on
the Fortune 500 list of industrial
companies.

Roger Swanson
SWANSON SPEAKS
OUT ON TRADE
"H ow many people in this room
are angry or concerned about
Japan?" asked Roger F. Swanson as he
opened his lecture on campus.
Recently returned from the U.S.­Japan
Business Conference in New
York, Swanson is president and chief
operating officer of the U.S.-Japan
Business Council, Inc., a private com­pany
that engages in ongoing dialogue
with high-level Japanese and trade
association leaders.
According to current calculations,
the year 1993 holds the discouraging
promise of a $50 billion u.s. trade
deficit with Japan.
While the Japanese view this as a
symbol of their economic success,
many Americans and Europeans are
angry with what they believe to be
unfair trade practices. In fact, the
latest NBC poll reveals that more than
40 percent of the American people
regard Japan as a greater security risk
than the Soviet Union.
However, Swanson is quick to point
out that this is not a black and white
situation, but rather a complicated
gray area of conflicting issues involving

T'BIRD COMBATS
TERROR AND BOREDOM
IN COLOMBIAN KIDNAPPING
Thunderbird graduate Jan
Meertens knows the face of inter­national
terrorism, after surviving a
kidnapping and hostage ordeal for
eight months in Colombia.
Meertens, a Dutch citizen, was freed
in a violent rescue by the Colombian
army. He is now working in the United
States as an area manager for H.C.l.
and has been free about a year foHow­ing
his release on October 3, 1988.
Meertens, a 1981 graduate, recently
discussed his kidnapping and offered
some advice to other foreigners working
abroad based on his own experiences.
After working in Central America for
four years, Meertens was transferred
back to Colombia, where he had
worked previously, to become manager
of a Holland Chemical International
subsidiary.
Meertens was working one morning
in the company offices in Bogota when
his captors entered the office posing as
Colombian police. They asked him and
another Dutch employee to come with
them to straighten out an immigration
question, a request which Meertens
did not find unusual.
'They identified themselves and we
had no choice but to leave with them,"
Meertens recalled. ':A.fter 200 feet in
the car, I was blindfolded. We switched
vehicles twice and then I was put in the
back of a jeep and transported about 12
hours in the mountains of Colombia.
"They had grenades, Uzis, subma­chine
guns, and revolvers," Meertens
said. "I was brought to a little farm in the
countryside and assigned a little room."
Meertens had been taken by the M19,
a nationalist guerrilla group which
Meertens describes as "notorious" in
Colombia. They had been responsible
for previous terrorist attacks and kid­nappings.
Meertens described his room as only
"/ think that any employee abroad
should insist on basic safety measures
and not think that without them you
don't catch attention," says Jan
Meertens '8/.
four feet by eight feet, with no fresh air,
no daylight, and no sanitary facilities.
"Of course, the door was closed,"
Meertens said. "I had one light bulb
and reading material after a while. The
food was pretty poor and it was very
cold inside. These people were masked
all the time and they Limited the com­munications
as much as possible with
me. They did try to bring me off balance
by threatening my life and requesting
new information on the company."
News reports at the time indicated
that the group was seeking a reported
$20 million in ransom from Holland
Chemical in exchange for Meertens.
"Psychologically, it's a very tough
thing to go through. What I tried to
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE
10
do, and I think 1 managed to do, was
simply not think of the outside world
too often and create my own world
inside the cell. I spent time reading
and drawing. I had a very strict daily
pattern of doing exercises, eating my
food, even if it wasn't worth chewing
on, and I tried to sleep 10 hours."
Meertens described four areas that
became the most stressful, including
the food, the physical restriction, and
never actually seeing a face.
'The fourth one was the most
troublesome - the fact that you
couldn't select what you could hear,"
Meertens recalled. "1 was always sub­ject
to hearing propaganda, conver­sations,
insults, people playing with
guns, cleaning their weapons, things
like that."
Meertens reported that while fear is
constant, he did manage to adjust.
"You have a survival instinct," he
said. "Sometimes there were occasions
where they would threaten more than
normal. They would feel that their own
security was in danger and they would
get nervous and want to leave the area
with me as a hostage. So there were
moments when the tension was worse
and, of course, the fear also."
Although Meertens was not physically
beaten, he said there were attempts to
abuse him psychologically, by telling
him that the company wasn't negoti­ating,
or even that he had been sold to
another group because the company
didn't want to pay.
Ironically, Meertens credited a film
he saw at Thunderbird on terrorism
with helping him cope with the situa­tion.
The film showed an abduction
and the things a victim could do wrong
that would ultimately hurt him.
"1 recalled those things and, in fact,
during my stay in South America I
always found it a useful seminar
because you're always in a situation
wbere this may happen or a security
problem may arise. I firmly believe that
Thunderbird could do a bit more than
just a movie. People could definitely
benefit from it," Meertens said.
"You don't want to walk around with "TRUST IN THE OUTSIDE 1----------------------------

he said. THAT HIS OR HER FAMIlY
Meertens said that waking up was AND COMPANY IS DOING
the hardest part of the day, because
he had to force himself out of bed, EVERYTHING TO RESOLVE
which was really only a bag with some THE SITUATION, BECAUSE

"I did that in the morning and then

to eat. In the afternoon I would
read whatever was available and do
whatever mental things 1 could with
the reading material, like summarizing,
interpreting or even translating. Basi­cally,
the evening looked similar to the
afternoon - boring."
Meertens found out about the birth
of his second son by reading an old
newspaper. ·Laurene was born three
weeks after his father was kidnapped.
After about five months, Hugo
Bolhuis, the other Holland Chemical
worker, was freed, but Meertens
remained in captivity His release came

Meertens also suggests defining
"basic communication codes" with

of communication in case proof of life
is requested. For example, the use of a

were killed.

sat in the comer of the room and I
waited for one of those grenades to go
right through my roof and kill me. In
fact, I was hoping that it wouldn't hurt
and it was all I could do at that moment.
But then after God knows how many
minutes and hearing people die, the
commandos broke into the farm and
told me that they were the army They
middle name may mean something,
and using a mother's maiden name
may mean something else.
"Trust in the outside world,"
Meertens said. A victim of a kidnapping
should believe that his or her family
and company is doing everything to
resolve the situation, because they are.
"Don't resist physically, but demand
basic rights, because you may get
them," Meertens said, adding that he
was able to obtain reading and drawing
material.
A hostage should try to develop a
rapport with his or her captors, and
recognize the effects of dependency

develop sympathy for his captors nor
their cause, but was able to take advan-

were in plain clothes so I had my
doubts, but they actually were. They
took me to the armyjJase where I had
a chance to contact my family and
colleagues. "
After his release, he was over­whelmed
to learn of the concern in
Holland over his safety and the efforts
by his family and the company to gain
his release.
"It has been very tough on my family
and on myself," Meertens observed.
He added that it was "strange" to feel
abandoned and then suddenly learn
that for months he was the focus of
public concern in Holland.
Meertens, 30, lives in California with
his wife and two children. He says that
his ordeal hasn't changed his viewpoint
toward an international career.
'The people who committed the
abduction are only a very, very small
fraction of the population in Latin
America," he said. "I think it would be
unwise to say, 'Okay, I don't want to go
back because it's dangerous over there.'
Although the kidnapping was well­prepared,
I feel that Hugo and I were
just unlucky, and lucky to get out
again. I don't think it changed my career.
If anything, it gave me a chance to
become stronger and more useful to

tage of whatever sympathies some of
his captors had for him. Psychologists
refer to this as the reversed Stockholm
syndrome. Near the end, his treatment
had improved.
Captivity can be made easier if a
hostage does not enter into political
discussions, eliminates thoughts of the
outside, and tries to exist within the
hostage's restricted world.
"Set a very strict pattern," Meertens
said. "Be tough with yourself. Set some
goals so your achievements will lift the
spirits.
"Try to create a security risk for these
people by setting them up against each
other," Meertens said. He added that
there are several books on the subject
of coping with terrorism.
VIEWPOINT
WINDS OF TRADE
CHANGING
BETWEEN
U.S. AND JAPAN
An interview with Dr. Martin Sours,
International Studies Department,
editor of International Executive, on
the relationship between Japan and
the United States.
In 1970, Thunderbird started teach­ingjapanese
language, and in 1971 we
began a systematic language and inter­national
studies program for the Pacific
Rim, adding Chinese language later.
As an institution, we've been involved
in the Pacific Rim for almost 20 years.
The next step is to have a Thunderbird
presence in japan on a full-time basis.
So much business activity globally
flows into or through japan that a
permanent Thunderbird presence in
japan can potentially be a service to
alumni everywhere in the world in
terms of information referral, contract
work, executive training of japanese
employees, and Americans and other
third country nationals going to japan.
Q. Business Week recently
featured an article, Rethinking
Japan, that suggested the standard
rules of the free market no longer
work in]apan. How do you feel
about this "revisionist" attitude?
A. A fundamental public change in
attitude has occurred very recendy - I
would say within the last six months -
in the direction of more emphasis on
"managed economic relations," moving
away from the idea that natural eco­nomic
and business forces will ulti­mately
dictate business operations
between japan and the United States.
There is a new attitude in the United
States about the necessity of having a
managed trade relationship - assigning
trade targets; establishing categories of
exchange of goods; agreements for
market access; very specific protection
for proprietary copyright rights, and
things of that nature.
Over the summer of 1989, we were
pleased to have on campus Roger
(
Dr. Mortin Sours
Swanson, the preSident of the u.s.!
japan Business Council and he clearly
articulated this new attitude in Wash­ington,
D.C., the approach of looking
at economic and business relations
between the United States and japan
as a managed, joint public sector and
private sector activity. Thunderbird
will now have to pay more attention to
government and public policy issues
with regard to trade and economic
relations. The public sector, that is
government, will be an integral part of
the economic and business activity in
japan, so the Thunderbird graduate with
the broader tripartite educational back­ground
should be very well positioned.
Many of us have a natural inclination
to think that business operations are
our central focus and that it is diffi­cult,
and sometimes counterproductive,
to get government deeply involved. Yet,
in Vkshington D.C., managed economic
relations is the dominant theme and
THUNDERBIRD MAGAZINE
12
we need to anticipate and work within
that framework. We have to study regu­latory
issues, public policy, questions
of foreign ownership and control, con­straint,
and other issues having to do
with japan and the United States.
Q. What factors do you feel
influence the competitive advantage
Japan has over the U.S.?
A. The japanese general competitive
advantage in business, in my view,
stems from lower cost of capital than
is the case in the United States. If
American firms and other companies
want to be competitive with the
japanese, something has to be done
about rationalizing and redUCing the
cost of capital. It is a very difficult
thing in a market-driven and public
stock sale environment where firms
raise capital according to real or market
prices, but it's a central issue and people
in business need to continue to focus
on this as a serious competitive issue.
Related to that, we're increaSingly
seeing the entry of Japanese service
companies into the United States and
into the global economy. Many people
still think that japanese business is
manufacturing, making steel and auto­mobiles.
Certainly, they do these things,
but that is not the leading edge of
Japanese business activity. It's high
technology intangibles and service
corporations, especially banking, and
insurance. The record to date for these
japanese companies has been some­what
mixed, but that doesn't mean
that these japanese companies are
going to leave the global market or exit
this area. Labor costs are high in japan.
Automation has helped some japanese
manufacturing continue to manufac­ture
high-end or high quality products
so there is a bit of a knowledge or
experience gap in japanese service
companies, but that is still the kind
of activity that's receiving a lot of
attention in japan and in their outreach
to Europe and the United States.
The internationalization of japanese
economy is twofold; one is to send
manufacturing plants and facilities
companies abroad to get inside Europe
before 1992, and also inside North
America with the u.S.!Canadian Free
lIade Agreement. The other is to increase
knowledge and sophistication of finan­cial
services and other services areas.
This is being done by using the lower

MANAGING THE ENROLLMENT
A RECORD YEAR
Enrollment in fall semester 1988, spring semester
1989 and summer 1989 were among the highest in
the School's history. The enrollment was additionally
enhanced by the inclusion of 32 nondegree students
from the European Business School in West Germany
and the Norwegian School of Management. Sixteen
degree candidates from cooperative programs in China,
Finland, and Spain were also part of the student body.

RECRUITING STUDENTS
FOCUS ON RESULTS
College relations recruiting for fall 1988 and spring
1989 included 256 campus visits for individual
interviews and career day functions, 133 of them
by alumni educational counselors. Thunderbird was
also represented at six MBA forums, one Graduate
Record Examination forum, and two Institute of Inter­national
Education forums .
To increase applications, several World Business
Advisory Council members wrote personal letters on
their corporate letterhead to students who had taken
the Graduate Management Admission Test and had
their scores sent to Thunderbird, but had not submitted
an application for admission.
More than half the students entered Thunderbird
with two or more years of meaningful work experience
since their undergraduate days, at a mean age of 27.
They came from 52 countries, more than 475 different
undergraduate institutions, holding degrees in 81 fields
of study.
Twenty-three executives were enrolled in a con­tinuing
off-campus program at McDonnell Douglas
Corporation.
Winterim 1989 enrollment was similarly high.
Summer 1989 enrollment was the highest for any summer
in the history of the School, at 902. This included 96 in
overseas programs and lO visitors from foreign institutions.
The admissions office saw changes in leadership
this year. John James Arthur (BFT '55, MAIM '71)
retired as Dean of Admissions, and was succeeded by
Brian A. Bates.

SERVING STUDENTS
LEADERSHIP AND FACILITIES
The Associated Students Legislative Council has had
another year of strong leadership. Both Deborah
Camper and Franck Kiser performed well as ASLC
presidents, and interest in seeking the office has increased.
Franck Kiser put the ASLC on a sound organizational
footing through the installation of a task-oriented
committee system.
Through an increase in the student fee, the ASLC
entered into a licensing agreement with Films Incorporated
allOwing the organization to show video tapes of popular
films on a regular basis. The ASLC also raised the
salaries of the vice president and treasurer.
The creation of a new weight room in the Coleman
Lounge has been well received. The facility is a morale
booster and very heavily utilized. Both the quality of the
facility and the hiring of a student assistant athletic
director to oversee the room have contributed to much
lower theft and vandalism rates than in former years.
The Presidents Association, made up of all past stu­dent
body presidents, met for the first time in early March.

PROVIDING AID
AN INCREASING CHALLENGE
The Financial Aid Office is increasingly burdened by
governmental regulations that require more paper­work
and more individual time with each applicant.
During 1988-89, $7.420,239 in financial aid to students
was processed. Some notable trends observed this year
include an increase in the numbers of students forced
to rely on either 10 percent SLS loans or even more
expensive 12 percent to 13 percent loans. This is caused
both by changes in the law determining eligibility and
by the increased cost of the Thunderbird education.
Recent statistics issued by the U.S. Department of
Education show the School has the lowest delinquency
rate for the federal student loan program in Arizona.
April 7 was the 10th anniversary of the Bizarre
Bazaar. About 20 alumni who had been leaders with the
event came back to celebrate the occasion. Over its 10
years, the Bizarre Bazaar has raised $52,580 providing
short-term loans totaling more than $262,000 to more
than 2,800 students.

GOING ABROAD
TRANQUILITY AND TURMOIL
At the conclusion of a moderately smooth year for
student affairs and foreign programs, turmoil erupted
in Beijing that affected students both on and off
campus. Three Thunderbird students, accompanied by
Stephen Beaver, dean of students, were participating in
the Thunderbird exchange program in Beijing. Joined
by Dr. John Frankenstein, professor of International
Studies, the group witnessed the Chinese student
demonstrations and subsequently were safely evacuated
to continue their studies in Thiwan and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile on the Thunderbird Campus, a memorial
service and discussion of the events was organized by
the student China Club.
Spain Winterim was expanded to include a we~k
in Lisbon this year and was offered for the first time for
either Modem Language or International Studies credit.
A new Winterim Program, also available for either
International Studies or Modem Language credit, was
offered in Brazil. The forthcoming exchange with the
Helsinki School of Economics is attracting much interest
among the student body.

ADDRESSING ISSUES
CAMPUS SPEAKERS
C omrnencement speakers included Dr. James Crupi,
president of the International Le~dership Center
in Dallas; Dr. Theodore Cooper, chairman and
CEO, The Upjohn Company; and Dr. Roy A. Herberger,
president -elect of the American Graduate School of Inter­national
Management. Arizona Governor Rose Mofford
participated in the December, 1988 commencement.
Speakers on campus included Marianne Alireza,
author of At the Drop oj a Veil; Clovis Maksoud,
Ambassador of the League of Arab States to the United
Nations; and Ley Smith, president and general manager,
Upjohn International.
Under the sponsorship of the International Studies
Department, the students heard two views of the European
Community developments for 1992: Dr. Giancarlo
Chevellard, head of press and information for the EC
delegation spoke on the European point of view and Dr.
Alan Larson, deputy assistant secretary of state for
economic affairs gave the U.S. position.
Other speakers included former U.S. ambassador
to Argentina Frank Ortiz; Dr. Solly Simelane, deputy
representative of the African National Congress; Rafique
Gangat, South African Vice Consul; Dr: Robert Scalapino,
director of the University of California Berkeley Center
for Chinese Studies; and Robert S. Trotter, assistant
regional commissioner of operations for the U.S.
Customs Service.

DEVELOPING CAREERS
NEW TACTICS
The Career Services Center Student Committee initi­ated
three new programs related to career choice:
1) a committee of volunteers in the Career Resource
Library, 2) the Ad Search Board listing career oppor­tunities
from over 25 major global publications, 3)
extended programming with employers including
videotaping of 20 alumni who talked about their career
functions.
An Academic Internship Committee has been
established for the Thunderbird Graduate Management
Internship Program, which had 60 interns on assignment
with 34 employers. Growth of this program and increased
internships overseas are a result of more faculty
involvement in advising interns and helping develop
new internships. Several companies in Japan were
contacted by faculty resulting in commitments for 13
interns beginning fall, 1989.
Alumni services now include two biweekly publi­cations
of position openings: The Graduate Update for
recent graduates who are continuing their job search
off campus and the Alumni Opportunities bulletin for
those who have at least three years of professional
experience after graduation. The Graduate Update
published a total of 496 position openings and was sent
to 350 eligible graduates while 690 position openings
were available to 397 more experienced alumni registered
in the Alumni Placement Service.
On-campus recruiting at Thunderbird shows 62
new employers, a 40 percent increase over the previous
year, many of whom represent medium-sized organiza­tions
and subsidiaries of major corporations. The mean
salary of $35,043 rose 4 percent above 1988.
CompleJ;I1enting the on-campus recruiting is a 16
percent increase of position opening announcements
from 426 last year to 496 this year. This increase comes
on the heels of a 66 percent increase in 1988 over 1987.

TRAINING EXECUTIVES
ON CAMPUS AND ON SITE
Three hundred sixty people participated in 43 pro­grams
that the Thunderbird Management Center
conducted during 1988-89. These programs grossed
over $516,000 for the School during this fiscal year
compared to $462,050 last year.
Major clients were Singapore Airlines, the National
Association of State Development Agencies, Chase
Manhattan Bank, the Greater Los Angeles World Trade
Center Association, the Jordan Institute of Management,
Hughes, and SEDA-Council of Governments Economic
Development Administration. Language programs were
conducted for Ford, Goodyear, Chrysler, ConAgra,
Del Monte, Rohm Haas, Coming and Monsanto among
others.
The management center coordinated the MIM pro­gram
being conducted on site at the McDonnell Douglas
plant in Mesa. This spring semester was the fourth
semester to offer that program with 26 employees
enrolled.
The Certificate of International Business program
was run successfully in both Orange County and Long
Beach this year as was the program on Managing Multi­national
Operations held in Phoenix in January.

COMMUNICATING
THE MYSTIQUE
A GROWING AWARENESS
Media attention was particularly strong on the local
level, with major articles on Thunderbird in the
Phoenix Business Journal and Arizona Trend
magazine plus items on special events and the announce­ment
of the new president.
Articles on the School also appeared in Margin
magazine, a publication for undergraduate business
majors; International Living magazine; and Barter News,
a publication for the countertrade industry. Ten jour­nalists
representing major daily newspapers in Japan
visited the Thunderbird Campus in September.
The Thunderbird Magazine added alumni profiles,
a viewpoint column by faculty and alumni, color photo
features, and profiles of trustees. Feature articles during
the year focused on Southeast Asia, marketing to U.S.
Hispanics, dual-career Thunderbird alumni, and a tribute
to the Voris years.
The Thunderbird Bulletin/Catalog received two
publication awards from the International Association
of Business Communicators. A survey of the Thunderbird
News weekly newsletter indicated over 90 percent
readership, and efforts were made to make it more
comprehensive.
The annual Board of Trustees banquet in October
honored major donors and featured Dr. Robert Scalapino,
noted authority on Asia, as the speaker. The seventh
annual ball sponsored by the Consular Corps of Arizona
was held at the Registry Resort with a record attendance.
The event, renamed The Ambassadors' Ball, honored
Dr. Friedrich Hoess, ambassador of Austria to the U.S.
as Diplomat of the Year.
Thunderbird hosted a
visit from ten Japan­ese
journalists in
the fall. They spent
the day touring the
campus and meeting
with various faculty
and administrators.
ENRICHING THE CLASSROOM
ACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Projects to improve teaching and enrich the classroom
are a common thread that runs through much of
the faculty and departmental activity during 1988-89.
New Courses
A course on international auditing was offered on
a trial basis in the spring by the World Business
Department. Two new regional analysis courses were
offered by the International Studies Department: one
on Latin America's Southern Cone and one on politics,
religion, and business in Central America.
In the International Studies Department, a new
course in direct foreign investment and technology
transfer was introduced in the summer of 1989.
During Winterim, three new courses were offered:
a maquiladora workshop, a tourism workshop and a
course in marketing to U.S. Hispanics.
For the first time, overseas Winterim programs
were offered for credit in either the Department of
Modem Languages or the Department of International
Studies. A LisbonlBarcelona segment was led by Professor
jorge Valdivieso, and a Rio de janeiro segment was led
by Professor Maria Pinheiro. Professor joaquim Duarte
assisted in the coordination of these programs.
Externships
The externship program funded by AT&T enabled
six faculty members to spend one to three weeks in
various businesses. The resulting exchange of information
benefited both the businesses and the faculty.
Externship participants were Martin Sours and
Beverly Springer of the International Studies Department;

and john Lindholtz, james Mills, Robert Sherman, and
Humberto Valencia of the World Business Department.
Participating companies included B.G. Blodgett
Group, First National Bank of Chicago, the African
Development Bank in West Africa, Eastman Kodak,
AT&T, and American Insurance Group in Paris.
Special Projects
The International Studies Department expanded
the International Studies Research Center and the Dom
Pedro II Center, both of which offer numerous periodicals
and maintain extensive files of documents and clippings.
In the World Business Department Dr. Duk Choong
Kim, executive counselor of Daewoo Corporation, was
Thunderbird's fourth executive in residence.
As a gesture of appreciation to Dr. William Voris,
the Faculty Senate held a dinner in his honor at which
the William Voris Scholarship Fund was announced as
a fund-raising project supported by the faculty.
In the Department of Modem Languages, this year
saw the accomplishment of two major projects: The
first was the completion of an English/japanese glossary
of business terminology, the result of three years of
work by Professor Andrew Chang. Research assistants
were funded by school assistantships, and the Kanji
computers were loaned through an agreement made
with the IBM Corporation.
The second project was the fulfillment of a dream:
the installation of a satellite dish that will bring programs
in foreign languages from some of the most distant
places on earth thanks to the generosity of Echosphere
and the efforts of several alumni in the company. Professor
Andre Klein has spearheaded the system's establishment
and integration into the curriculum.
In addition, the dialogues for all levels ofjapanese
have now been revised and recorded, including those
used in japanese Advanced Business Language 4200.
The Chinese dialogues are also being revised and the
dialogues for Spanish Level I 3000 have been revised
and recorded, leaving only Spanish 4000 to be revised.
Drs. Schutte and Britt have created additional computer­ized
grammar exercises for Levels I and III German.
Professor Andre Klein has completed his pilot
project with "French in Action" in which the same
students go through the language sequence together.
This spring the students who started in the summer of
1988 are finishing the cycle with third-level French.
Video materials do a great deal to enhance language
instruction, and Thunderbird is moving quickly to
incorporate this medium. Video materials for Business
German have been added to the library and recommended
to the students as supplements to the courses. An
audio-visual workshop was offered to the language
faculty by Professor David Curland from the University
of Oregon.
The Department of Modem Languages hosted an
ACTFL workshop in Spanish, French and German,
attended by professors from several American universities
and colleges.
The association with the Bunsai Intercultural
Exchange Program from Tokyo is in its second successful
year in which two assistant teachers per academic year
visit Thunderbird to teach japanese.
Professor Jian Chen of the University of International
Business and Economics in Beijing has been teaching
Chinese under an exchange program with that university:
Faculty debate revolved around proposals to add
Italian, Korean, and Russian languages to the course
offerings. A decision was made to introduce Russian at
the second level starting in spring 1990.
The Volume 1lI, No 1 issue of the The Journal of
Language for International Business was published, and
negotiations were completed for the American Manage­ment
Association to become copublisher of The Inter­national
Executive journal.
Retirements
Professor Connie Estes, who has been on the

MANAGING THE. OPE.RATIONS
A BUDGET SUMMARY
An endowment that passed $6 million, in market
value, and a year-end surplus of $371,219 marked
1988-89 as another financially sound year for the
School.
Assets of $22,018,702 represent an increase of 6.9
percent over last year's balance sheet. The book value of
the endowment fund on June 30,1989 was $4,722,662
with a market value of $6,025,456. For comparison,
the book value of the School's endowment 15 years ago
was $354,492. All investments for the School's endow­ment
funds and all short-term working cash are
administered by The Common Fund which consistently
outperforms all other comparable funds. It has handled
the School's funds since 1981.
Gross revenue of $15,866,174 was 5.7 percent
over budget and 8.8 percent over last year. Expenditures
of $15,494,955 were 5.5 percent over budget and 9.2
percent over last year. The surplus from operations on
June 30,1989 of $371,219 includes a transfer to plant
funds of$200,000. The 1988-89 budget was based on a
surplus of $318,650 which also included the $200,000
to be set aside for physical plant renovation.
During the summer of 1988, two wings of the East
Apartments student dormitories were renovated through
the use of the $200,000 generated in 1987-88. A similar
project is planned for the summer of 1989 at which
time the remaining two wings of the complex will be
refurbished, including new air conditioning units, new
plumbing, carpeting, new insulation and improvements
to'the exterior of the buildings.
The School's architects have produced the specifi­cations
and initial renderings for the proposed expansion
of the Barton Kyle Yount Memorial Library. This project
would double the square footage of the current facility
which was built in 1971. The estimated cost would be
approximately $1,395,000, and several alumni groups
are now soliciting funds for the project.
Tuition for the fall and spring provided the major
variance in revenue for the year. The full-time equivalent
enrollment for the fall and spring semesters was 1,024
which exceeded the budgeted figure of 950. The auxiliary
enterprises, which consist of the bookstore, dormitories,
and food service, all operated with a surplus. Increased
expenditures were due mainly to the increased enrollment.
Employee life and health insurance coverage costs also
exceeded expectations.

RAISING FUNDS
A MIXED REVIEW
The School raised well over a million dollars for the
seventh consecutive year with the final total at
$1,46,7,037. Corporate donations increased 18
percent for a total of more than half a million dollars,
the best year ever for corporate giving to the School.
Corporate gifts amounted to nearly 45 percent of the
total year's contributions.
Other fund-raising figures were less encouraging,
in keeping with a nationwide trend toward reduced
giving for higher education. Following a jump in capital
gifts last year, this year's overall contributions dropped
25 percent to a figure only slightly below that of 1986-87
due mainly to fewer large gifts by major donors and
foundations. In addition, alumni contributions and the
number of alumni who contributed were down with
2,979 alumni contributing $280,832 compared to
$297,879 from 3,423 alumni last year. Nevertheless,
the average alumni gift was larger than in years past.
Alumni were also responsible for 338 matching gifts
made by corporations.
15
Top corporate contributors included Arizona Public
Service Company, Citibank, The Coca-Cola Foundation,
Firestone, First Interstate Bank of Arizona, Ford Motor
Company, General Motors Corporation, Johnson &:
Higgins, Johnson &: Johnson Company, MeraBank,
NEC Corporation, Phelps Dodge Foundation, Ramada
Inc., Salt River Project, Tenneco, and U.S . West
Communications.
Special thanks go to The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company for again funding an operating chair in
international industrial marketing, and to Continental
Grain Company for pledging $200,000 to the chair in
international agribusiness.
Contributions from the Friends of Thunderbird
brought their endowed scholarship fund to over $368,000.
Larry Finney '52, and C. H. "Chuck" Yahn '62,
again cochaired the Annual Fund. The classes of 1978-79
began a capital drive to raise over $150,000 for the
expansion of the library. The campus phonathon
generated $71,069 in pledges, and the New York
phonathon raised $10,398 in pledges, a 33 percent
increase over the previous year.
The School is grateful to Richard Croft, Mr. and
Mrs. Wallace Denny, Thelma Kieckhefer, Mr. and Mrs.
Malcolm Milburn, Mrs. Lyall (Amy) Morrill, Bernhard
Edgar, and Michael O'Shaughnessy for their generous
gifts.
The President's Council, whose members contribute
$1,000 or more each year, provides funds for special
projects and faculty development. The contributions
totaled $68,000 in 1988-89, plus matching funds, down
slightly from last year's figure of $76,274.
The Development Department recently started two
new programs: Government Grants and Special Gifts/
Bequests. The Special Gifts and Bequests program has
identified approximately $421,794 that will eventually
be released to the School's endowment funds through
bequests, insurance, and life income gifts.

CULTIVATING ALUMNI
THE NETWORK GROWS
Thunderbird alumni continue to assume a dominant
role within the international business sector with
more than 21,500 alumni located in 114 countries
and employed by 8,035 different companies.
More than 800 alumni assist in student recruitment
as alumni educational counselors, and more than 476
alumni are chapter leaders worldwide.
In direct response to alumni requests, the Thunder­bird
Alumni Association board of directors established
a catalog of Thunderbird specialty items inserted into
the Thunderbird Magazine. The first student-alumni
orientation, organized by Jack Donnelly '60, Franck Kiser
'89 and Hein Schoustra '83, was held this spring to
introduce graduating students to the alumni association.
Professional and volunteer accomplishments were
acknowledged through the Alumni Recognition Com­mittee,
chaired by Daniel D. Witcher '50. The committee
named four Distinguished Alumni Award recipients
and five people to receive the Service-to-Thunderbird
Awards. In addition, Dr. William Voris was named an
honorary Thunderbird alumnus in recognition of his
support for the alumni association.
With 163 centers of alumni activity worldwide,
the board of directors has established chapter development
as a priority. This topic was addressed by alumni, who
traveled to campus from as far away as Austria, during
the third annual Alumni Leaders Conference, chaired
by Don Parker '82.
The number of alumni-sponsored events has
increased from 180 to 289 over the past three years.
Monthly First Tuesday Chapter meetings have increased
from l3 five years ago to 63 this year. The Washington,
D.C. Alumni Chapter sponsored a reception featuring
The Honorable William Verity, Secretary of Commerce,
who was introduced by his son,Jonathan G. Verity '66.
Claire Hendy Oudemans '87 and Randy Oudemans '86
organized the second annual Asian alumni reunion,
held in Singapore. The European alumni chapters
sponsored a fall reunion in Luxembourg.
The Arizona Alumni Chapter once again funded
two partial graduate assistantships, and the Washington
State Alumni Chapter initiated a scholarship fund designed
to encourage applications from the local universities.
With the leadership of Chairman Stephen K. Orr
'79 more than 175 alumni attended the 1978 and 1979
ten-yearreunion, breaking the previous attendance record
of 1lO alumni from the classes of 1947-57 who attended
the Pioneer Reunion in 1989. Robert G. Whelan '78
and Thomas D. Hobson '79 are coordinating the class­sponsored
library expansion project. Reunions for alumni
from the classes of 1963, 1968 and 1983 were highlighted
during the November Alumni Homecoming and Balloon
Race weekend.
